Agreed...fun to follow along! Having recently put this set together it's pretty fresh so fun to see your progress. No high number premium is a nice break here for us set collectors...my last card was the Mantle/Aaron, looking forward to seeing what yours will be!

I also enjoy this type of thread.

BTW...I would recommend getting one of the "Cards that Never Were" for your #145 spot, Ed Bouchee...helps with the OCD of either having a hole in your binder, or messing with your numerical order (I MUST have every bottom right corner number add up to 9...).

Also, I actually have some doubles from early lots and upgrades...most don't fit your condition requirements (I had the same) but these do...if there are any hits on your needs list let me know and I'll donate them to the cause -

Ed does show up on card #44

Clever Al...maybe I should have put another Senators team card in that spot...

8.6 Update:
Money spent: $0;
Cards acquired: 8
(6 usable cards, 1 with a crease I can't use and 1 that is glossy and blank back)

Notes: After I started this thread, I had a nice user (Harliduck) message me saying he had a few extras he'd give me at no cost. Those came in the mail today. Very nice gesture by an awesome collector. So I added a few more, for nothing. THat's what collecting is about. Thank you Harliduck. By the way, I have no idea what the Bouchee is about. It's quite glossier than all the other cards and has a blank white back. I think it's some type of reprint that thrown in somehow, although I'm not really sure.

Yeah Bouchee I think should've been in the set but wasn't for some reason so somebody made him.

Thanks. Yes, I asked Harliduck, and he said Bouchee was pulled. So the set will forever have a hole at #145. But I can always replace it with the Bouchee (or just drop this set and do a different one that's complete! Thanks Topps). I'd never do that, but I know some people that would. Anyway, I guess I'll have 2 Bouchee's in the set.
